From over a decade ago, I can recall Nick always beating the kids on our team that ended up in his weight. This is how I got to know Nick as a friend and training partner. It’s also the same reason that I trusted him with not only the technical but interpersonal aspects of teaching. Nick holds himself to a remarkable standard for results and improvement. I am most certain that this passion and commitment will be amplified when Nick can channel this same drive into building up his students.”[/mpc_testimonial]

Jacob attended a birthday party at FAA. He had so much fun and begged us to let him train. My wife, Laura, and I had differences in opinion about mixed martial arts. I didn’t feel it was safe, especially since he is small for his age. My wife told me to let Jacob try it. Laura brought Jacob to his classes and every time he got home he was like, “Dad, dad, let me show you this move I learned!” The amount of confidence building that took place in my son in just a short time was amazing.”[/mpc_testimonial]
